Yesterday on X I had shit with two SWLA people who think they're going to get rich with Space X jobs and don't give a damn about the land loss and wildlife kills this will cause in one of Louisiana's last unspoiled coastal prairies. #spaceX #elonmusk #pecanisland #louisiana
SpaceX is planning a rocket-launching spaceport in coastal Louisiana. Here are the plans.
After months of speculation, a source close to the deal has confirmed an 18-mile stretch of coastal south Louisiana called Pecan Island will be the site for a new space port for Elon Musk's SpaceX.

The council accepted legal counsel's recommendation to approve partial settlements with certain defendants in a series of petroleum-related lawsuits and authorized the Parish President and attorneys to execute settlement documents while reserving claims against non-settling parties.

This study details the environmental damage and wildlife kills from Space-X rocket launches in Boca Chica, Texas. The same thing will happen in lower Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. #elonmusk #spacex #louisiana #SWLA www.cbbep.org/manager/wp-c...

This is the land Elon Musk will buy for Space-X. All of this land will no longer be accessible to the public. LA-3147 will become a private, restricted company road. Rocket launches will kill countless birds and wildlife. Pecan Island will be bought out. #spacex #elonmusk #louisiana
I'm pretty dismayed at the general lack of concern over Elon Musk buying out land in rural Vermilion Parish to play with his toy rockets. I think Space-X is a purposeless endeavor that will do nothing more than kill wildlife and cause gridlock on LA82. #louisiana #pecanisland #elonmusk
SpaceX rumors prompt worries over generational land
Industry has a history of running roughshod over environmental and residents’ concerns along the Gulf. Some worry the marsh near Pecan Island may be next.

One interesting thing about being a New Orleans expatriate -- I can read the Times-Picayune online unlimited without hitting a paywall.
As I sit on 20+ years of photographing Louisiana's coast, please see fit to repost or write to the publisher of your choice asking to publish my work in book form. Thank you as always for your support. #louisiana #art #publishing #photography #landscape #literary

It doesn’t really cool off here at night, especially when there’s no wind.
Southwest Pass, Plaquemines Parish, LA 7/24 I considered this photo an outtake, so I put it up for stock and somehow sold 8 separate licenses for it. #louisiana #plaqueminesparish #photography #cargo #delta #mississippiriver
